Armistice Day exercises are always
impressive. Eight hundred eighty-
seven young graduates and undergraduates answered their country's
call in war time, and twenty from that
group gave their lives to the cause.
To the 887—and many of them were
girls in Red Cross service—the future
was uncertain. If they were going
forth to death, who would know what
they might have accomplished in their
later years? If they came back, how
would the experience affect their lives?
And the twenty boys who died—youths
of promise—any one of them might
have contributed a great scientific
discovery or benefited the human
race. Therein lies the tragedy of war.
Families are torn asunder, and hopes
for the future arc shattered in a wave
of destruction.
It is fitting for Shortridge to pay
tribute to its wartime heroes. It is
in the interest of world peace to re-!
call the loss,experienced in the war. I
In addition to the soldiers it contributed, Shortridge was active in wartime relief measures. Contributions
of money and provisions were solicited
and brought in by the students. As,
Armistice Day was welcomed origin-
ally, its recurrence is a reminder of
the school's part in the conflict, and
the necessity to prevent future wars, j

enthusiastic over this project and is
going after it in an organized manner.
An editor-in-chief and an editorial
committee have been elected in each

As usual, the zoology classes have
made insect collections. Due to the
excellent weather this fall many unusual specimens were found. As a
whole, this year's collections were
better than those of previous years.
There were two specimens brought in
this year that have never been in the
collections before. These were the
Portia butterfly and the Red-barred
Sulphur. Ted Weakley and Sarah
Frazer found Portia butterflies and
